Jordan Christopher Martin, 18, of Antioch, California, was shot and killed outside an Applebee’s on Hillcrest Avenue on July 30, 2018. The Antioch Police Department found him about 1:20 a.m. with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other teenagers, ages 16 and 17, were also wounded and taken to hospital care.

Reports say the shooting began after a confrontation in the restaurant parking lot between Jordan, the two injured teens, and another group. Jordan stepped in to help a stranger during the confrontation and was fatally shot. A makeshift memorial was later placed at the parking lot. No arrests were immediately announced as detectives collected evidence and interviewed witnesses; the investigation remained open.

He left behind an 8-month-old son, Cylus, and is remembered by family and friends as a loving son, brother, and father. Does anyone who was in the area that night or who knew Jordan have information to share with Antioch police?
